Kindle Unlimited.
These are very short installments, almost novella length. I probably would've lost patience with the series if this wasn't a box set, as each installment ends in a cliffhanger. Sadly, the last installment of this box set ALSO ends in a cliffhanger.
I would put this series firmly in the erotica genre. The main female lead is a little bit of a MarySue, but she has just enough spark to make her bearable.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book but I was pleasantly surprised that it has an intense storyline that keeps getting better the more you delve into the characters.
I love the banter Between Emma and Zoey and how strong their friendship is.
Getting to know each of the guys is very eye opening, they are all intense individually, but together.... they are a powerhouse together and it's no wonder Emma is drawn to each and every one of them.
Love the suspense and looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Hidden Agenda
We pick up where we left off and oh bot what a read!!
The story is getting even more intense the more secrets are unraveled,
We get to know the guys on a more intimate level and I love how they all seem to just mesh with one another. Great series thus far!!
Broken Process
The more I read of this series the more I get sucked into every nuance of all of the characters.
I liked the suspense of the story line and I like that it's not all about sexy times.

I absolutely love the feeling of this series. The plot is compelling, the characters are amazing and perfect despite their individual flaws. This has the perfect balance between action, romance and character development. Can't wait for the next part of the series!!!

Gripping
Picked up this boxed set due to high recommendation from an FB reading group. Man, I wasn’t disappointed, slow to medium burn, fast paced action and skullduggery, don’t really understand computers or code, but this was easy to follow and I loved it, highly recommended reading.

OMG!
Well what a ride! The characters are fabulous and the story makes you hold into your pants. The "mysterious" villains are terrifyingly masterful in their attacks.

This starts off slow burn, but by book 2 the steam really starts to kick in.
Emma is a talented coder and she has some software that could really change the industry. Several companies are interested but she can't sell until it's finished and she has a few kinks to work out.
One company is run by 5 best friends, and all of them have a personal interest in Emma but she struggles to understand how the relationship can work.
Throw in another company willing to do almost anything to get their hands on her code and Emma's life went from mundane to exciting, but not in a way she would ever want.
I like that the story is told from multiple POV so you get the guys story too. They are all unique in their own way but band together when it comes to protecting Emma.

February 14, 2021Totally boring!!!It dragged on and on with totally irrelevant bits/issues. You could see the author was just filling in arbitrary bits and pieces throughout! Who does security coding and is supposed to be so brilliant but is in actual fact so stupid about so many things!!!! Unbelievable!!!First time reading this author....will not be reading her again!!!
dnf
May 10, 2022This was a DNF for me. It started out okay, but once she moved apartments, the story dragged to a crawl and bored me to tears. The relationships with the 5 guys had no interesting tensions whatsoever. There were long scenes of them eating together, exercising together, having pleasant conversation, but none of it had any point. There were no stakes.

Brilliant RH romance. Totally bingeable read. There is so much to love in this series. Intriguing drama through suspense. Compelling characters that bounce off and complement each other. In-depth relationship development. Sexy, spicy, varied, and fun with light mm steam. If you love the contemporary reverse harem genre, this is unmissable.
